The happy mix

Our exhibition at the Shelly bay Defence base is now underway. Interested parties can make the expedition along the narrow road to the base. The mind your head Gallery is located to the left of the road and is clearly visable from the road. It will run until the 17th of May

Our opening proved to be an amicable occasion and all groups, associations and interested parties mixed freely. Our programme of ambitious oldschool art projects has also been somewhat revived by the sale of works from the newly formed Association of the Plague, as well as other works from the Archive.Stay attuned for further Bulletins

1932 unemployment riots


Dipping into the national archive we here present a preview of our upcoming studio exhibition. We hope interested viewers will undertake a similar effort in prescribing the correct view of the upheavals here portrayed.

We hope visitors to our exhibit will take the opportunity to view these events in an orderly fashion.

The association of the plague



During the past week with all departments experiencing a disarray not uncommon in times of economic hardship, the OAFY executive were pleased to receive several submissions of collaboration between departments.

The research division, upset at the removal of key works from the collection for sale, have gone ahead with commissioning a series of works exploring cruelty, distance, theatricality and form. As distance from the visceral has long been an effort undertaken by the OAFY executive we have restricted the research commission to the production of a series of small works which retain in simple testamentary form the concept of the plague. This we are reliably informed is part of an ongoing project undertaken by the research division in reclaiming a rhetoric of the relationship of the Absurd to both distance and nature, we have also uncovered compelling evidence of various other groups engaged in the own plague ridden activities, while we naturally keep our distance, we applaud these efforts at sustained collaboration. Works from the association of the plague will be on display at the newly renovated Mind your head gallery, on the Shelly bay Wharf from the 18th of April- 17th May, by invitation.
